Hi guys!! Today is very special day. Not only am I sharing this seriously delicious Mango Guacamole (more on that later), but I’m also helping to celebrate Carrian from Oh Sweet Basil’s 30th birthday!! Because Carrian would rather give than receive she’s hosting a full weeks worth of giveaways.
As most of you know, I’m a contributor on her blog, so of course I wanted to help her celebrate, and let me tell you, she has some killer prizes, today just so happens to be a $1,000 Amazon gift card. Think of the things you could buy!
Just enter your information in the rafflecopter below, and a winner will be chosen later this week.
Be sure to heard over to Oh Sweet Basil and check out The Girl Who Ate Everything, Fav Family Recipes, Lauren’s Latest, A Southern Fairytale, Something Swanky, Spoonful of Flavor, Centercut Cook, Sweet Treats More and Rachel Cooks who are also helping to celebrate Carrian’s birthday.
Now, on to guac!
While I’d describe myself as a guacamole purist most days, having a boatload of mangos left over prompted me to go off the beaten path a little bit.
Repeat…a little bit. I still kept most of the traditional ingredients; a little bit of red onion, cumin, lime juice, plenty of salt and of course, avocado, but threw a very sweet, but not too sweet curve ball with the addition of diced champagne mangos.
I was a little worried the combination of sweet mango and rich avocado might not work well, but those fancy Mexican restaurants are sure on to something, because it works perfectly.
Not much else to say, other than you guacamole lovers out there will rejoice once you try this variation. Plus today marks the end of tax season, for those of you that don’t know, my husband is a CPA and these last few months have been brutal, we pretty much never see each other in the light of day, so I’ve got to mosey on over to his work party to celebrate his FREEDOM!
Cheers! And don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

I have recently adopted the Paleo lifestyle after being severely obese my whole life. If I were to win the gift card to Amazon, I would buy a dehydrator, a Vita-Mix, a spiralizer, a canning kit, a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer for me an one to replace my Mom’s broken down one. Or at least as many as I could 😉 Lol
It would be a major blessing!!
P.s. Oh yeah, an a juicer! Lol
Nicole says
Wahoo!! Thanks Elizabeth!
Elizabeth says
Orrrr…. Lol. A mini iPad to replace the one that was stolen after our church van was broken into last year 🙁
Elizabeth says
But, probably what I need it for the most, is a car!! My mom just suggested it, I said, idk that Amazon sold cars! I guess I could prob negotiate with it, use it as down payment if I found the right seller… Lol
